Porch and rockers ~ Long Lake, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenAfter returning home early Saturday afternoon from our week in Onchiota. the wife and I headed out to Blue Mountain Lake for the life without the APA closing reception.

The event was well attended and quite a few attendees, including a retired commissioner of the APA, wanted to talk to me about the pictures. The work was very well received and many attendees actually thanked me for making the pictures. According to the gallery director, the exhibit was (in her 3 year tenure) by far the most viewer-involved exhibit the Arts Center had displayed. Viewers spent time reading the Artist Statement, looking at the book, closely examining each picture, and asking all kinds of questions about the work.

Needless to say, I was pleased as punch.

After the reception and taking the work down, the wife and I moved on to Long Lake to have dinner at the Lodge formerly known as The Long View Lodge, the place where the wife and I tied the knot. After dinner we had dessert and apéritifs on the porch overlooking the lake.

Overall, it was a very pleasing day.

Today, I'm off to Plattsburgh to deliver the life without the APA and the ART: conveys / transports / reflects prints to the North County Center for the Arts for my next exhibit.
